Cowboys tie it with 99-yard drive

ARLINGTON – We’ve got a 10-10 here at Cowboys Stadium after Tony Romo directed a 99-yard, 11-play drive, capping it with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin on the last play of the third quarter.

The drive, the longest by Dallas since it had a 99-yard drive in the 2006 regular-season finale against Detroit, consummed 7 minutes, 19 seconds and included a 21-yard pass to Austin and a 25-yard pass to Roy Williams – yes, Roy Williams – that gave Dallas first-and-goal at the 8.

The offense is doing its part. The big question, though, is whether the defense can stop the Chargers. San Diego has three completions of 20-plus yards and a 38-yard pass interference penalty.

The Chargers had the Cowboys backed up at the 1 after Kassim Osgood downed a punt, but Marion Barber and Felix Jones picked up 10 and 9 yards on the first to plays to spark the march.
